Self-rep Providers Directory

We’re Here To Serve You

For too long the family law system has basically ignored people who couldn’t afford, or didn’t want to pay for, full, traditional legal services. I developed The Family Law Coach to help change this by creating family law services designed to be of value to self-reps that could be delivered at fixed fees to anyone, anywhere, without having to go to a lawyer’s office. And this Directory was created to let you know about others with similar ideas about offering services to self-reps.

A “3 Pillar” service is one that’s specifically designed for self-reps as an “off the shelf” product – it’s clearly defined, has a fixed fee, and is accessible from anywhere. I hope that between The Family Law Coach and our network of self-rep service providers, you can find the affordable services that meet your needs.

1) Pre-defined: The service must be pre-defined, as with The Family Law Coach, or custom designed for the individual user, so the user knows what they’re getting before they sign up.

2) Fixed fee: The service must have a fixed fee, as with The Family Law Coach, or a capped fee for a custom designed service, so the user knows the cost before they sign up. (A capped fee is the maximum amount to be charged for the service.)

3) Accessible anywhere: The service must be accessible by the user from wherever they are by email or phone. Not a “come to my office” service.

To be listed in our Self-rep Providers Directory, you must offer, or create, at least one service that meets The Family Law Coach’s 3 Pillars of Self-rep Service and meet our Self-rep Providers Conditions for Listing.
